We couldn’t be happier with our beautiful new pool from AquaTech. From start to finish, the entire experience was smooth and professional. The craftsmanship and attention to detail really show, and the final result is something our family will enjoy for years to come. A big part of what made the process so positive was working with Curtis. He’s been incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and easy to communicate with throughout every stage of the process. No matter the question or concern, he always followed through quickly and made sure we felt taken care of. It’s rare to find that level of service these days, and we really appreciated it. Highly recommend AquaTech to anyone considering a pool. Great team, great service, and a beautiful end result.

We had a wonderful pool building process with Aquatech, but the individual customer attention from Curtiss has been stellar. He is an expert in his field and is incredibly personable and willing to share his knowledge. He has always welcomed our questions and has a great response time. He has never made us feel like a bother, despite the learning curve it has taken in owning a pool.

I got five bids for our backyard pool project. Aquatech was right in the middle, but I felt comfortable with a company who’s been in business for so long. Derrick, who came out to do our bid, was very professional and cordial. Once we decided on Aquatech Kaitlyn, the general manager, took over helping guide our project. She’s absolutely adorable and wonderful to work with. Kaitlyn is so knowledgeable, and she was able to educate me so that I felt confident making big decisions regarding pool design. Curtiss was our project manager. He went above and beyond making sure our project ran smoothly and that we knew how to use our pool once it was up and running I would absolutely use Intermountain Aquatech again. I recommend them highly.

Curtiss came out that very day and walked me through a bunch of things. He was so helpful. He even sent me a follow up text the next week to make sure everything was working.

I've come to Aquatech twice now for troubleshooting and repairing parts for my hot tub, and both experiences have been exceptional. Each time, they quickly diagnosed the issue and provided affordable solutions that got my hot tub back up and running in no time. I primarily interacted with the technicians in the parts department, and I want to give a special shoutout to Jason. He has been consistently helpful, professional, and friendly. Jason takes the time to explain the issues clearly and always ensures I understand the repair process. If you're looking for reliable, fast, and reasonably priced hot tub diagnostics and repairs, look no further!

Aquatech, you’ve got a straight‑up legend on the payroll. Ryan rolled up, clocked my half‑dead pump in about two seconds, and broke down exactly why it was toast—no tech babble, just the facts. Bad news? My pool‑opening timeline just went sideways. Good news? Ryan refuses to leave a customer hanging. Instead of punting me to “next week,” he jammed me back into his calendar, showed up late Friday night, and swapped out the entire pump system—wrench in hand till almost midnight. No complaints, no corners cut, just dialed‑in focus until water was flowing like it owed him rent. I even asked if he made that Sunday event he’d mentioned when he originally opened my pool. Nope. He’d driven two counties over to save another pool owner’s weekend instead. Who does that? Ryan does. And that tells you everything you need to know about Aquatech’s crew: zero quit, all commitment. These guys treats your pool like it's their own, especially Ryan. The guy is top tier! Oh and the new pump is PURRING like a kitten 🙂
